Does anyone know of a bootleg from Sufjan Stevens's 2010 Celebrate Brooklyn concert?

Can someone help me find a bootleg of Sufjan Stevens's Celebrate Brooklyn! concert from Aug 3, 2010? It was at the Prospect Park Bandshell.

Oddly enough, it never occurred to me to look for a live recording of that evening until now. The youtube videos are cool, but I'd like a more complete auditory capture of the concert. Does anyone know where I can get a recording of that performance? Or even from the Aug. 2 one?

• My google-fu led me to the bootleg page of the fuckyeahsufjanstevens tumblr but I specifically want one from Celebrate Brooklyn 2010.
• I bought Age of Adz on vinyl and obviously paid to see him live. I'm just interested in re-living what was possibly the best night of my life... That's all (in case you are ethically against the clandestine recording of live performances...)

If you were at that second concert, you know how utterly amazing it was. Was it the energy of being in a crowd who didn't give a fuck about the rain? The fluorescent stage props + costumes? Did it come from jumping up and down with complete strangers, completely drenched head to toe singing Impossible Soul at the top of our lungs? Then screaming when the little van in the backdrop Chicago video was driving to New York because HEY OMG HE'S SINGING ABOUT NEW YORK, WE ARE IN NEW YORK! Am I wasting my breath trying to describe how life-changing it was?

"Tonight we celebrate Brooklyn. We celebrate rain. We celebrate ourselves. We sing the body electric. Am I quoting too much Whitman? I celebrate myself. I sing myself [...] every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. These are your songs this is your show. Thanks for being here." - SUFJAN

I'll cherish my memories for as long as I live, but it would be neat to be able to listen to that night again. Feel free to MeFi mail me if you have any secret leads. Thanks in advance!
